**Número de Cartel:** PP 471

**Información sobre el cartel:** This poster uses both emblems of the Soviet Union. The hammer and plough inside the red star (signifying unity of peasants and workers) is at the lower right. This is the earliest emblem of the Soviets and was first used as a badge for the Red Army in 1918. It was officially approved on April 19, 1918. The hammer and sickle (seen on the flag) was used as early as 1917 as a symbol of the union between industry and the peasants. It was reportedly designed by the artist Evgenii Kamzolkin and was approved by Vladimir Lenin at the Fifth All-Russian Congress of Soviets in July 1918. The Soviets depicted it on the state seal of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR thereafter. In August 1918, the hammer and sickle officially replaced the hammer and plough.
